Often, in enterprise environments, various web services may be simultaneously deployed and running. Unfortunately, these web services may be underutilized because users within the enterprise environment simply do not know that such web services are available.
Accordingly, web service registries and repositories act as a centralized storage location for storing web service definitions and web service metadata. Unfortunately, these web service registries and repositories are not automatically updated and are often out of date or inaccurate. Accordingly, in order to maintain the accuracy of these web service registries and repositories, the web service registries and repositories must be manually updated by an administrator.
